Last month I was really hating on my travel coffee mug. I got it at a beanery in Hersey and I really like it but my coffee was tasting plasticy. I like my coffee not to taste plasticy. I was in Starbucks, as I often am on my way back from dropping off my little homies and mentioned it.
I explained my plastic problem to the man and he told me they were running a special for January. He said, "Here, this is a good mug." Me, "How much?" Him, "$30." Me, "WHAT!? There's GOOOOOOLD in there right?" Him, "No, but the coffee is free for all of January."
Me, "Challenge accepted."
I'm playing a fun game with myself with math and coffee. It'll take me 14.49 cups of coffee to break even, every cup after that is free. Technically, since I'm only supposed to get one cup each day, I'd be limited to only 15 free cups or $31 in free coffee but I'm going to really work this here. I like games. And coffee. As the days and coffee opportunities tick on, I'm going to try and keep track.
1/1- didn't go past a 'bucks, thus, no coffee.
1/2-
-9am, Media, $30 cup of coffee!! It was the best $30 cup of coffee I've ever had- but it was a little bitter and highly acidic. I was thankful to have water with be because I was getting dehydrated as I drank.
-11am, Media, $15 cup of coffee ($30/2 cups so far) Opted for the blonde roast. Didn't needthis but since I missed 1/1, I had to make up for it. I HAD TO.
1/3- 10am, Foulk Rd, Safeway. Wasn't brewed yet, had to wait for it. Also, it looks like they don't grind their beans right before they brew it- but this is unconfirmed. I ordered the Christmas blend, bought some fabric sheets and greeting cards while I waited and went to work. It wasn't very good- tasted more like the blonde from 1/2.
Looking forward to $10 cup tomorrow!
The cards I got from the store were for sympathy and my anniversary. I couldn't believe I found a card with wood work in it. Five year anniversary is Saturday- the wood anny! Score! The others were for word pals- A work buddy's pup and my assistant's stepbrother both passed. Sympathy cards are fucking bogus. Pardon my french but yea. I know that everyone grieves differently but they were all mopey, wallowy, and almost morbid. Even the pet one. "I know you couldn't possibly smile in this time of sorrow...because you are lost without them,..." They all had really negative undertones.
I opted for the thinking of you section instead of the sympathy. They were cute, light and although hinted at hardship, both made me smile. Take a look next time your in the card store. Just bad. What do I know anyway, right?
